Raina-led India beat Bangladesh again

India made just one change to their playing eleven – Parvez Rasool made way for Stuart Binny, the player of the match.

Bangladesh (Moham)made a couple of changes to the eleven that last played the Indians – Mominul Haque and Abdur Razzak made way for two One-day International debutants (Mithun and Taskin Ahmed).
